    Won't bolt upto the rt transmission and engine mounts are in the wrong spot, you need the ZC to do a twin cam swap with the rt

    What??? the DOHC ZC is very much the same as a D16A1... D16A1 will bolt up to RT trans, you will have to chop off the top bolt of the rear T mount and use driver side mounts for a typical ZC swap.

    I guess I'm mistaken :( I tried bolting up a D16a1 transmission to a D16a6 and No go :(

    Correct. 1st gen integra Trans (CG) shares the same bellhousing bolt pattern as a D series RT AWD trans. The D16A1 transmisision has also been bolted up to a sohc D series A6/Z6, etc.... but is not a bolt on deal: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2276278


    Edit: I think i may be misinformed about the 88+ RT bellhousing.... I'm very used to dealing with my early 86 solid axle, D16A1 block bolts up to my trans no problem. Someone correct me if i'm wrong regarding later RTAWD bellhousing compatibility with DOHC ZC/SOHC ZC.

    Haha.. I should have tried harder :) I think I may do the cv transmission on the wifes Z6/jrsc '76 convertible :)

    Wagon bellhousing is same as any other EF/L3. DOHC ZC and SOHC will bolt up but D16A1 will not AFAIK.

    First Gen wagon trans (85-87) 4x4 and RTawd bolts up fine to D16A1.
